Dear Editor:

 

In response to the article titled “Anti-MMR Doctor Is Forced Out” (http://news.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2001/12/02/nmmr02.xml)

by Lorraine Fraser, Medical Correspondent, I would like to say that our organization will continue to support the research of Andrew Wakefield, MD, without doubt. I think I can speak for all the parents in the U.S. and say that we were saddened that the Royal Free Hospital let a doctor of the caliber of Andrew Wakefield leave.

 

To those that have opposed Andrew Wakefield's pursuit of science and his findings, I say that they have gained only a Pyrrhic victory. Andrew Wakefield will be vindicated in the history of medical science and those that opposed him will not even be relegated to a footnote. What has happened will only galvanize the parents to press for more science and the detractors of Andrew Wakefield will find that they will be under heavy fire for avoiding the truth. This event will not stop the science from moving forward.
